MARK LEVIN: FACT:Reagan never endorsed Gerald Ford at any time during the 1976 GOP convention or campaign

The Reagans were furious at how the Ford campaign had attacked them. Paul Manafort will know this as he was a top delegate counter for Ford and against Reagan at that convention. Ford won the nomination, of course, then lost to Jimmy Carter. Four years later, Reagan won the nomination, won the general election in a landslide, and the rest is history.

***** Did Reagan sign a pledge to? Ted did. *****

Levin says Trump made Cryin’ Ted’s pledge null and void when Trump attacked his family.

First, I doubt Levin’s research.

Second, I’m betting that Reagan specifically asked people to vote for Gerald Ford.

Third, the word ‘endorse’ was not a big deal then. I lived through that time, I remember, and it simply wasn’t. To say “I’m voting for him.” or something similar to that. To encourage others to vote for him, to campaign for him, to support him in public. All of those things fell under the heading of “endorse”....and were probably more significant proof of endorsement than to mouth the word ‘endorse’ and be done with it. (Like I suspect will be the case with Rubio.)

Mark Levin leaves out the fact that Ted Cruz signed the pledge to support the Republican nominee. Cruz is a weasel.
